Depop charges no selling fee for sellers based in the US or UK. But, they do take a payment processing cut on every sale. Here is what comes out of your payout:
For US sellers, Depop does not take a commission on the item price. But there is a fee for payment processing on every sale. Depop uses Stripe to process payments, and that fee applies regardless of price point or category.
The processing fee is calculated on the full transaction amount, which includes the item price, whatever you charge for shipping, and any sales tax collected. It is not just the item price.
| Fee type | US sellers | UK sellers | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selling fee | 0% | 0% | — |
| Payment processing | 3.3% + $0.45 | 2.9% + £0.30 | Item price + shipping + tax |
| Boosted Listings | 12% | 12% | Item price + self-arranged shipping (if sold via boost) |
| Listing fee | $0 | £0 | — |
Sellers outside the US and UK still pay Depop's 10% flat selling fee on top of payment processing, which is handled through PayPal rather than Depop Payments.
Boosting is Depop's optional promotion tool that pushes your listing higher in search and category pages. You only pay if the boosted listing results in a sale, charged on the item price plus any shipping you arrange yourself. For US and UK sellers, that fee is 12% (up from the 8% rate many guides still quote). Sellers outside the US and UK pay 8%.
One detail that catches sellers off guard: the boost window runs 28 days from when a buyer clicks your listing. If they buy within that window, even after you've turned the boost off, the fee still applies.
Depop also charges buyers in the US and UK a Marketplace fee at checkout, up to 5% of the item price plus a flat amount of up to $1. Sellers don't pay this directly, but it raises the total a buyer sees before they commit to a purchase. If your pricing doesn't account for that added friction, you may notice more lowball offers or slower sell-through than the sticker price would suggest.
If this item sold via a Boosted Listing, an additional 12% of the $50 item price ($6.00) would also come out, bringing the payout to roughly $49.64.
For resellers running multiple shops
Depop's fee structure is different from Poshmark's, Mercari's, and Whatnot's. If you're crosslisting the same inventory across platforms, those differences change your real margin on every sale. Oly syncs your listings and lets you set markup rules per platform, so your pricing accounts for each marketplace's actual fee structure instead of a flat guess.
See how Oly works →Since there's no selling fee, the processing fee is small relative to other platforms. Padding your price by 4 to 5 percent typically covers it without making your listing look overpriced.
Buyers see a higher total than your listed price once the Marketplace fee is added. Pricing slightly below what you'd charge on a no-buyer-fee platform can help offset that friction.
At 12%, boosting only pays off if it meaningfully increases your sell-through or sale price. Reserve it for items that are priced right but undiscovered, not items that are overpriced for the market.
Depop Payments via Stripe pays out directly to your bank account, typically within one to two days. It also gives you the standard US or UK processing rate rather than PayPal's variable fees.
Sellers outside the US and UK pay a flat 10% selling fee on the total sale amount, in addition to a payment processing fee collected through PayPal.
Yes. If a sale is refunded, the payment processing fee and any boosting fee are reversed as well. This happens automatically for sales made through Depop Payments.
The payment processing fee is calculated on the full transaction amount, which includes shipping charged to the buyer. There's no separate fee on shipping itself, but shipping is part of the base the processing fee is calculated against.
Oly crosslists your inventory to Poshmark, Mercari, Whatnot, and more, automatically. One dashboard, every marketplace.
